Hugo Friedrich Schrader (born July 26, 1902 in Frankfurt am Main , † February 22, 1993 in Berlin ) was a German actor and voice actor .
Life
Schrader began his artistic career in 1925 as a theater actor in Munich (including Theater am Gärtnerplatz, Münchner Kammerspiele ). In 1933 he went to Berlin, where he worked on various stages until old age.
In 1930 he made his feature film debut alongside Paul Hörbiger in the comedy How will I get rich and happy . In a career spanning more than 50 years, he often embodied the type of the somewhat clumsy and shy "little man". He played alongside Hans Söhnker in Helmut Käutner's wife made to measure , as the main actor in Hochzeit am Wolfgangsee , alongside Theo Lingen in A Girl Whirls Through the World , alongside Dolly Haas in Why is Miss Käthe lying? , next to Willi Forst and Curd Jürgens in Königswalzer , in Alfred Vohrer's drama Until the money separates you ... and in the drama Stern ohne Himmel based on Leonie Ossowski .
From the end of the 1950s Schrader also increasingly took on roles in television productions such as Falk Harnack's drama Everyone dies for himself (based on Hans Fallada ), Thomas Fantl's satire The full life of Alexander Dubronski (with Horst Bollmann ) and the science fiction based on Vladimir Nabokov - Movie invitation to behead . One of his last major television roles was that of "Paulchen Rettig" in the ARD evening series Drei Damen vom Grill .
From 1947 to 1984 he also worked extensively as a voice actor and lent his high-pitched, nasal voice to numerous internationally known actors such as Hume Cronyn ( Two Dirty Scoundrels ), Louis de Funès ( The Law of the Road , Two Men, a Pig and the Night of Paris ), Dustin Hoffman (as a 102-year-old in Little Big Man ), Peter Lorre ( inter alia, The horrible Mr. X , rest gently GmbH ), Burgess Meredith ( The Rose of Tokyo ) and John Mills ( The End of an Affair ). In addition, he also spoke the Troubadix in the German first dubbing of Asterix the Gauls and the Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi and the Old Wabble in the three Winnetou films with Stewart Granger .
